The best lower bound known on the crossing number of the complete bipartite graph is : $$cr(K_{m,n}) \geq (1/5)(m)(m-1)\lfloor n/2 \rfloor \lfloor(n-1)/2\rfloor$$ In this paper we prove that: $$cr(K_{m,n}) \geq (1/5)m(m-1)\lfloor n/2 \rfloor \lfloor (n-1)/2 \rfloor + 9.9 \times 10^{-6} m^2n^2$$ for sufficiently large $m$ and $n$.

The crossing number cr ( G ) of a graph G is the minimum number of edge crossings over all drawings of G in the plane. The main goal of the paper is to state the crossing number of the join product K 2 , 3 + C n for the complete bipartite graph K 2 , 3 , where C n is the cycle on n vertices. In the proofs, the idea of a minimum number of crossings between two distinct configurations in the various forms of arithmetic means will be extended. Finally, adding one more edge to the graph K 2 , 3 , we also offer the crossing number of the join product of one other graph with the cycle C n .

AbstractWe offer a new method for proving that the maxima eigenvalue of the normalized graph Laplacian of a graph with n vertices is at least $$\frac{n+1}{n-1}$$ n + 1 n - 1 provided the graph is not complete and that equality is attained if and only if the complement graph is a single edge or a complete bipartite graph with both parts of size $$\frac{n-1}{2}$$ n - 1 2 . With the same method, we also prove a new lower bound to the largest eigenvalue in terms of the minimum vertex degree, provided this is at most $$\frac{n-1}{2}$$ n - 1 2 .

Communication networks must be constructed to be as stable as possible, not only with the respect to the initial disruption, but also with respect to the possible reconstruction. Many graph theoretical parameters have been used to describe the stability of communication networks. Tenacity is a reasonable one, which shows not only the difficulty to break down the network but also the damage that has been caused. Total graphs are the largest graphs formed by the adjacent relations of elements of a graph. Thus, total graphs are highly recommended for the design of interconnection networks. In this paper, we determine the tenacity of the total graph of a path, cycle and complete bipartite graph, and thus give a lower bound of the tenacity for the total graph of a graph.

In this paper, we improve the lower bound on the minimum number of  ≤k-edges in sets of n points in general position in the plane when k is close to n2. As a consequence, we improve the current best lower bound of the rectilinear crossing number of the complete graph Kn for some values of n.
